Anyone keen on watches?

[Lawrence001]

I've been heavily into watches, and horology in general, for many moons. But as with many hobbies, I've grown tired of them recently. I have a dozen or so sitting in drawers, but I only wear one which is a Precista Speedbird 3, from Eddie over at TZ.

I've had nigh on a 1,000 watches in twelve or so years, but this one is perfect in every respect for me.

ETA 2824-2 movement, 39mm diameter, clean and clear dial and a bracelet like liquid metal. I recently had the handset painted white (instead of the standard metal) and I had the hands lumed with the brightest stuff available.

Wouldn't bother wearing anything else these days.

I really like that, is it expensive?

Perfect - that is all you need from a watch.

And it's made in the UK.

Indeed. Cracking value, beautifully engineered, clear and easy to read.

The mods I had done were £105 and were done by a chap called James Hyman.

Lovely watch, don’t know how they do it for that price with that movement.

If it wasn’t for the fact I’d just bought a Node 2i I’d be sorely tempted.

That's a very elegant-looking watch Roy - very much to my taste.
